Ship Flows Downhill - Just a bit about plumbing, and water usage - Tips on Tuesday

Talk about the water usage and a few tips about the plumbing on Aquarius. Washing dishes, flushing the toilet, and taking showers. Also, we discuss just a bit about water when leaving the boat for a week or two.
Also this must be specific to your boat or maybe sail boats in general. I have never ever heard of all these problems on a motor boat.
I have been looking at a certain Nordhavn 120 and I have been through stuff pretty thoroughly and Ok know that dirty water etc is removed by contractor but what you're describing to do, ERM no. And I like my power shower to much to.
One other comment, on a recent Super Maramu I sailed on, they used a 6" deep plastic bin (like the ones kindergarten kids use to store their crafts in) in the sink as it nearly fit the contours of the port side sink and made it sort of impossible to rinse stuff off outside of the bowl accidentally. It was also stiff enough that it was easy to carry up the companionway to throw over. It was still a two stage operation like you do... once to get off the bulk, the second time to use soap and do the final clean (when dishes are very dirty). They used the starboard side sink to rinse off the soap and drip dry. Worked well. I love these videos. Keep them up!
